If you want a d20 roll to have a 95% chance of a crit fail and a 5% chance of a crit success, just say so. "Anything but a 20 on this roll counts as a natural 1." The numbers can mean anything you want. That's D&D. You don't have to waste money on novelty dice that are useless outside of very niche rolls.
Regardless, this doesn't even sound fun as a player. If I ask my DM if I can do something and he just flat-out tells me "You only have a 5% chance of this succeeding, otherwise, you **** it up as badly as possible" then I'm not gonna make that roll. Making it a surprise would be even worse. Someone's gonna get pissed when they have a +17 to an ability but you tell them they have to roll this die that effectively invalidates their character.
